New Carl F Groupco hardware website launched
With over 7,000 prod-
uct lines in its catalogue,
Carl F Groupco’s website
is an essential sales tool
and source of hardware
information. Supporting the
company’s ethos of plac-
ing emphasis on customer
requirements, the site has
been extensively upgraded
– one of the most significant
changes is that it is mobile
and tablet friendly enhanc-
ing the user experience
when on site or in transit.
Designed to be user
friendly, focus has been
given to product display
with simple navigation
from one category to an-
other: other enhancements
include new features that
make browsing, viewing or
downloading information
easier. Accessing Techni-
cal Support or requesting
quotes is also straightfor-
ward.
The comprehensive range
of products featured on the
website encompasses door
/ window hardware, ventila-
tion, consumables and tools.
The upgrade of Carl F
Groupco’s hardware website
is part of a major market-
ing initiative to continue to
evolve the company’s sup-
port materials. The Carl F
direct website that displays
tools and accessories for
on-site professionals was
refreshed in July this year.
